      The Spaniard also wants at least one attacking winger to boost his title hopes.
      Shakhtar Donetsk’s Mykhaylo Mudryk is the preferred choice, although he could cost up to £50million.
      Arsenal are also keen on versatile Villarreal forward Yeremy Pino.
      And should enough funds be scraped together, they could even move for both Mudryk and Pino – as well as Danilo. More

      Newcastle ‘to offer red-hot Miguel Almiron new long-term contract’ after stunning form following Jack Grealish taunt

      by

      But ever since Jack Grealish’s derogatory mocking during Manchester City’s title celebrations, he has been in scintillating form for the Magpies.
      Almiron is already up to six goals in 12 Premier League appearances this season – matching his tally for the last two campaigns combined.
      That includes the winners in Newcastle’s last two matches, against Everton and Tottenham.
      The 47-cap international has scored five in October alone – as many as Grealish has managed in 14 months for City.

      Now The Telegraph state the St James’ Park club want to tie him down to a new deal.
      That would see Almiron handed an improved pay packet and likely extend his stay for an extra two years – by which time he will be 32.
      His current deal, the original contract signed in 2019, runs until 2024.
      But his impressive form means the Toon are concerned rival clubs may try and poach the ex-Atlanta United star when the transfer window reopens in January.

      Eddie Howe is getting the best out of Almiron both with and without the ball after his struggles under Rafa Benitez and Steve Bruce.
      The addition of Bruno Guimaraes plus Joelinton’s renaissance in midfield and significant investment in the defence have been major boosts for Newcastle, too.
      And striker Callum Wilson has already put pen to paper on a new contract since the Saudi owners took over. More

      Man Utd and Arsenal transfer boost as Xavi makes shock U-turn over Ruben Neves as Wolves man ‘can’t replace Busquets’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Wolves star Ruben Neves as Barcelona are no longer interested, according to reports.A number of top clubs have been keen to recruit the 25-year-old with his contract expiring at the end of next season.

      Barcelona were one of them but they have had second thoughts and may now turn to other targets.
      Neves was reportedly on the Catalan giants’ shortlist for the January transfer window and were considering an initial loan bid with an obligation to buy for £43million.
      He was seen as part of the strategy to replace long-serving veteran Sergio Busquets in central midfield.
      But Barca boss Xavi is concerned he will not suit his side’s tactical setup, claim Spanish outlet Sport.

      Xavi fears he does not have the right attributes to be a direct replacement for Busquets in the holding midfield role and will instead move for other players.
      This comes as a huge blow for Neves himself who recently flirted with a move to the Nou Camp saying it would be a “privilege” to play for “one of the world’s best clubs.”
      Man Utd are thought to be big admirers of the ex-Porto ace and they may make a bid for him.
      Erik ten Hag’s side were linked with Neves over the summer along with many other midfielders, including Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.

      Barca pulling out is also good news for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta is expected to bolster his options after attempting to sign an additional midfielder in the summer but with no luck.
      Busquets, 34, is set to join Inter Miami at the end of this season when his deal runs out.
      Barca reportedly prefer Ajax star Edson Alvarez and Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi to Neves.
      But their ability to make signings could be affected by their failure to get out the group stages of the Champions League amid a challenging financial situation. More

      Sport Bild claims Bayern turned to Havertz after losing Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.
      Despite landing Sadio Mane from Liverpool, club chiefs remained desperate to find someone capable of filling the No9 role.
      Bayern were strongly linked with a move for Tottenham star and England captain Harry Kane.
      But he remained committed to Antonio Conte’s project for this season.

      Bayern eventually turned to Havertz, despite him netting just 14 times in all competitions last term.
      The 23-year-old was more prolific during his time at Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 38 goals in his final two years.
      And Allianz Arena chiefs felt Havertz ticked all the right boxes for Julian Nagelsmann’s fluid system.

      And he will be hoping for another start when the Blues travel to Potter’s former side Brighton on Saturday. More

      “I think they’re two different leagues [the Premier League and La Liga]. But I think I can adapt to both for sure. And I think with the experience that I’ve had here in France, it will help me a lot if I need to adapt to some place else a lot faster.

      Man Utd urged to ‘cut their losses’ on £40m forgotten man Donny van de Beek as rivals flock for bargain January transfer

      MANCHESTER UNITED could “cut their losses” on £40million forgotten man Donny van de Beek.The Dutch ace, 25, has been a major flop since his Premier League move in 2020.

      United spent £40million to land Van de Beek from Ajax.
      But he netted just once in his first season at Old Trafford.
      And last year Van de Beek found himself loaned out to Everton after tumbling down the pecking order.
      Since returning to United, he has made just three appearances under Erik ten Hag – his former boss at Ajax.

      And Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth reckons United could now let Van de Beek leave for a bargain price.
      Ajax failed with an attempt to re-sign the playmaker over the summer.
      There was also interest from Italian champs AC Milan.
      And Leicester are now thought to be preparing a £13m January bid.

      Sheth reckons as a result, United are considering a permanent break for Van de Beek, who looks unlikely to win his place back any time soon.
      Sheth told GiveMeSport: “You never know. Come January, there’s potential that United might think they should cut their losses and see if there’s a club who would be willing to pay money for Donny van de Beek.
      “It was interesting to note that in the January transfer window – when Van de Beek went to Everton – I think United’s preference would probably have been for him to have gone to a European club, where the play and the build-up play is slightly slower and more suited to van de Beek’s style of play.
      “He could have got a lot more games had he gone abroad, maybe performed well, come back to United and maintained a good value.
      “But, instead, he went to Everton. Effectively, what has happened to him at United happened to him at Everton because it probably wasn’t the right choice.” More

      Chelsea star Christian Pulisic told to follow Timo Werner’s advice and QUIT club by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher

      Pulisic, 24, is in his fourth season at Chelsea after a £58million move from Borussia Dortmund.
      But he is yet to take Stamford Bridge by storm after suffering numerous injury setbacks.
      And after failing to win over Thomas Tuchel, Pulisic continues to be an outside squad player under Graham Potter.
      Over the summer, the winger saw fellow misfit Timo Werner ditch Chelsea for a return to RB Leipzig.

      The German has since scored eight goals this term – seven more than Pulisic.
      And Carragher believes the time has come for the USA captain to start considering his own future.
      Liverpool’s former captain claims Pulisic could reach greater heights as a player if he can be the star man for a lower-ranking club.
      Carragher points to Werner’s new-found form at Leipzig as inspiration for Pulisic.

      But he admits flexible boss Potter could yet provide more opportunities after starting the forward in last night’s Champions League win at RB Salzburg.
      Carragher told CBS: “100 per cent [Pulisic should consider a smaller club].
      “A lot of footballers are different, I do scratch my head when I see certain players at clubs for a long time and they never really get into the team.
      “And that’s why I think Thierry [Henry] is saying he respects Timo Werner. Rather than just sitting on the bench another year or two he’s gone back to somewhere where he’s going to play week in, week out.
      “And I just think Pulisic is sort of at that stage now where there’s been a few managerial changes.
      “It looks like he’s getting more of a chance with Potter, but not just him, I think Graham Potter is a manager who changes it every game so everyone is getting a chance.
      “So he may feel like he’s getting more of an opportunity to prove to the manager he can be in that recognised 11.

      “But he’s been there a few years now, it hasn’t quite happened for him for whatever reason, and maybe Dortmund is a level down from Chelsea who are a team who are trying to win the Champions League – we know Pulisic was part of that win.
      “But eventually you have to make that decision. I don’t think you can continue to be in that position that he’s been in for the last two or three years.” More
